Mental health is everyone's business
One in five Tasmanians will have a mental illness during their lifetime - it may be you or someone you know in your workplace, family or local community.
Mental illness is a health and wellbeing issue that can affect how people feel, think, behave and interact with others.
Anglicare has a number of services to support people who have mental illness.
The Personal Helpers and Mentors program is for people recovering from severe, long-term mental illness. The Recovery program provides one-on-one support for people with a diagnosed mental illness.
Pathways in Launceston is a group that meets regularly to socialise and participate in activities. Club Haven in Devonport is a social and support network for people recovering from mental illness.
Anglicare also offers services to support the family and friends of people who have a mental illness. Information and assistance is available from the Family Mental Health and Support Service.
We can also work with you to arrange a planned break with Our Time.
Young people who have a parent with a mental illness can participate in fun, educational and supportive activities at Taz Kids Clubs.
Anglicare has Residential Recovery Services at Curraghmore in Devonport and Rocherlea in Launceston.
Our Community Housing program in Devonport supports people recovering from mental illness to live independently in the community.
